To aid this work they invented the piezoelectric quartz electrometer. In 1880, Pierre and his older brother Paul-Jacques (1856–1941) demonstrated that an electric potential was generated when crystals were compressed, i.e. After obtaining his doctorate, he became professor of physics and in 1900, he became professor in the faculty of sciences. The submission material for his doctorate consisted of his research over magnetism. In 1895, he went on to receive his doctorate at the University of Paris. When Pierre Curie was preparing for his Bachelor of Science degree, he worked in the laboratory of Jean-Gustave Bourbouze in the Faculty of Science. Instead, he worked as a laboratory instructor. He did not proceed immediately to a doctorate due to lack of money.
master's degree, in physical sciences from the Faculty of Sciences at the Sorbonne, also known as the University of Paris. By the age of 18, he earned his license, the equivalent of a U.S. When he was 16, he earned his Bachelor of Science in mathematics. He was educated by his father and in his early teens showed a strong aptitude for mathematics and geometry. With their win, the Curies became the first ever married couple to win the Nobel Prize, launching the Curie family legacy of five Nobel Prizes.īorn in Paris on, Pierre Curie was the son of Eugène Curie (1827–1910), a doctor of French Catholic origin from Alsace, and Sophie-Claire Curie (née Depouilly 1832–1897). In 1903, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics with his wife, Marie Skłodowska–Curie, and Henri Becquerel, "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel". Pierre Curie ( / ˈ k jʊər i/ KURE-ee, French: – 19 April 1906) was a French physicist, a pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity, and radioactivity.
